Does any one know who owns the railbed of the now abandoned CN line starting at the US border. I believe the CN snuck out of paying any "grain dependent" line payment to the RM's through which it passed. I never or heard of any demand for even restoration of the mess left behind. It was hundreds of thousands of dollars left on the table.
There has been a question as to who currently owns the abandoned rail bed. It may have a substancial value for grain handling access to the US markets, crude oil and petroleum tank loading facilities; and purposes that have not yet crossed anyone's mind.
As I understood the process some year's ago; the local RM's were to receive title; and then nature trails or reversion to adjacent land owners could possibly evolve.
While writing this I just thought that a person can do a Land Titles search; and see who owns the former rail line right of way.
It's free for this basic info; and as long as they don't have your credit card you won't get some nasty and expensive costs charged to the enquirer.
